Congratulatory address by President Serzh Sargsyan on the 80th anniversary of “Azdak”

On the 80th anniversary of “Azdak”
Beirut, Lebanon

I cordially congratulate the staff, reporters and readers of “Azdak” on the 80th anniversary of the founding of the paper.

“Azdak” has been properly fulfilling its mission for 80 years - the mission of the preservation of the Armenian identity, Armenian schooling and culture, with special attention to the news from the Motherland and the events in the community.

“Azdak” has been serving and still serves as an important platform for discussing the all-Armenian issues and the Armenia-Diaspora unity.

Once again congratulating “Azdak” on its jubilee, I wish the paper long life and the augmented army of many readers. I am confident that “Azdak”, which already holds its important place in the history of the Armenian mass media, has still more important things to say and to do for the decades to come.”
